---

Brighter souls have stripped me of my worth.

Tangible, yes but only at first.

Broken nails, tear mere holes in my earth.

Bottomless, and strange visions they birth.

Waking dream, a mirage of what was.

Fooled to think that it won't end in blood.

Hold on tight to someone.

It all flows away.

Don't fear how I'll die someday.

My life's been a fruitless waste,

and I long to see you again.

The ebb and flow of the waves in the sea...

Paints her picture,

only to mock me.

I await...

her return at the shore,

Know in my heart...

This realm holds her no more.

I long for the other side.

Hold on tight to someone.

It all flows away.

Don't fear how I'll die someday.

My life's been a fruitless waste,

and I long to feel you again.
